A pickup truck exploded -- and we mean exploded -- in the middle of a North Hollywood residential neighborhood overnight. The blast sent the roof of the truck flying, shattered neighbors' windows and was felt nearly a mile away, LAPD Sgt. Glenn McNeil told the Weekly.

But was it a crime?

At this point it appears the answer is ... probably not.

It happened about five minutes after midnight at 11318 Miranda St., the sergeant said. A propane tank inside the cab of the Nissan Titan truck ignited, he said.

No injuries were reported, but McNeil said:

The backyard looks like a blast site. People as far away as Vanowen [Street] called in to report it.
